Chapter 552
On the day of the wedding banquet, Su Ji was decorated with joy. Red ribbons were winding around the roof, and big red wedding characters were pasted all over the doors and windows. The joy of the wedding was everywhere.
These were arranged by the groom and his friends the night before, which shows how much he values the wedding and the bride.
Su Yuanzheng and Meng Sui came back from shopping early in the morning, and immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.
Smoke rises from the stove, dishes bubble in the pot, and the aroma fills the entire store.
Others were busy running around, wiping the tables and chairs, arranging the tableware, and neatly placing the tables and chairs in two rows according to Mr. Dong's requirements, and covering them with brand new white tablecloths.
Everything is ready, just waiting for this special wedding banquet to begin.
The wedding banquet did not affect the lunch box business. Now Fang Zheng can sell 120 lunch boxes every day at noon, and the profit is very considerable.
At 11:30, Fang Zheng went out with several large boxes of lunch boxes, while others waited in the store for the arrival of the newlyweds and their relatives and friends.
Just after noon, Comrade Dong, dressed in a neat suit and looking radiant, walked into the store with his bride, who was wearing a bright red suit.
Behind him, more than 30 relatives and friends crowded in, and laughter instantly filled the entire space.
Everyone took their seats and praised this unique wedding venue. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
"Hey! Xiaoyun's mother, your son-in-law found a great place!"
"Yeah, although it's not a big hotel, it's well decorated and can be booked out. It's really impressive!"
The woman in the purple tweed coat was the bride's mother. After hearing what her relatives said, she smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face.
"We've raised our precious daughter for over twenty years. It's not that easy to marry her off. It's definitely going to take a lot of ceremony!"
The guests were all seated, and Su Yuanzheng asked the groom before arranging for the dishes to be served.
The delicious dishes were placed on the long table, sparking discussions among everyone.
Another relative said, "Hey! Xiaoyun's mom, such a delicious meal, and we booked the whole place. It must have cost a lot of money, right? Did your son-in-law pay for it, or his parents?"
The bride's mother turned aside and whispered to her relatives, "My son-in-law's parents are both dead, so he has to pay for it himself! Fortunately, he runs a small business and can make money!"
"That's great! Then your son-in-law is no different from someone who comes to live with you. In the future, he will follow Xiaoyun to show filial piety to you two and no one will say anything! Oh! The good days of you two old people are still to come."
The bride's mother proudly held out her hand, revealing a large gold bracelet, and said:
"Why else do you think I would agree to marry my daughter to him? He's a guy from another place, and he's already thirty years old and has no relatives to support him."
"That's even better! As long as Xiaoyun can hold on to it! From now on, he'll be like your own son! And he can even help out your brother-in-law. You're so lucky!"
At this time, the bride and groom stood up to toast everyone. The groom said with a red face:
"Thank you all my friends and family for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend Xiaoyun and I's wedding! I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful wife like Xiaoyun. Everyone here is a witness. I will definitely treat Xiaoyun well in the future!"
"Good! Well said!"
"You have a bright future, young man! You'll be successful if you listen to your wife!"
"Sister Xiaoyun, you are so lucky! Your brother-in-law is so good to you!"
As the cheers of relatives and friends rang out, the bride Xiaoyun's cheeks flushed, her eyes full of happiness. She gently took the groom's arm and raised her glass with him.
Just as everyone was toasting and preparing to offer their blessings, a thin, haggard-looking woman rushed in with a gust of cold wind.
She was dressed simply, her hair was messy, and her eyes were full of anger and sadness.
The woman was holding a tattered package in one hand and holding a timid little girl tightly with the other.
The little girl looked about seven or eight years old. She was not wearing thick clothes and was shivering a little, with a look of fear and anxiety on her face.
The woman's gaze pierced the groom like a sharp sword, her eyes instantly reddened, and she shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Dong Fugui! You're such a heartless wretch! You left me and my daughter to fend for ourselves back home! And here you're spending your days drinking and having a wedding banquet to get a bride!"
The little girl was frightened by her mother's roar and sobbed softly: "Dad..."
"Spring flowers?"
Dong Fugui's smile froze on his face in an instant, his face turned as pale as paper, and he looked at the mother and daughter who suddenly rushed out in disbelief.
The bride was immersed in happiness the previous second, but in this second, her dream was ruthlessly shattered.
She looked confused and asked Dong Fugui in a trembling voice:
"Fugui, what's going on? Who is she?"
The woman took a few steps forward, her finger almost poking the tip of Dong Fugui's nose, her voice becoming sharp with anger:
"I'm his wife! Five years ago, he said he was going out to make money, and he left me and my daughter in his hometown and never came back. I thought he was dead! It turns out he's married a new love here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. The guests whispered to each other and looked at Dong Fugui with eyes full of astonishment and contempt.
The woman's words hit the bride in the face like a slap. Tears welled up in her eyes. She shook off Mr. Dong's hand and asked,
"She's your wife? Didn't you say you were divorced? How could she still make such a fuss here?"
Dong Fugui waved his hands in panic, trying to explain: "Xiao Yun! Listen to me! I've already divorced her..."
"Get away from me! The marriage certificate is right here! You knew he had a wife, but you still married him! You want to be my mistress? You want to drink my foot bath water!"
The woman was furious. She took out a crumpled marriage certificate from her pocket and slammed it on the table with a sarcastic look on her face.
Su Miao and the others who were hiding on the side stretched their necks and used their sharp eyes, which had automatically upgraded when they were watching the excitement, to see clearly the names of the people getting married: Dong Fugui and Wang Chunhua.
Xiaoyun had never been scolded so vulgarly since she was a child, and she cried even harder.
With so many relatives and friends coming today, she felt like her dignity was being thrown to the ground and trampled on. She was too ashamed to face people again, so she turned around, covered her face and ran out of the store.
Seeing this, her two cousins hurriedly chased after him.
The bride's mother's originally smug smile had turned into an angry look, and her eyes seemed to be about to emit fire.
She rushed forward and grabbed Dong Fugui's collar fiercely, her sharp nails almost digging into the flesh of his neck, and yelled hysterically:
"Damn you Dong Fugui! How dare you lie to my daughter! I entrusted my precious daughter to you, and you treat her so badly? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"
"Mom! I didn't lie to Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun knows I'm married! I've already filed for divorce from Wang Chunhua!"
Dong Fugui spoke as he dodged helplessly, his eyes full of panic and regret.
Today should have been a good day for him, but he didn't understand how it turned into a farce!
